I was feeling hopeless that I could ever feel good about my body again
“Hi Jill,
“Thank you so much for the gift of Oxycise!
“I want to tell you about my results. I have worked really hard and have lost a lot of weight in the past few years, but I have been feeling really downhearted about my body, because no matter how well I ate, or how many vitamins I took, or how much I exercised, my skin was so loose, and my body shape just wasn’t satisfactory.
“I am 45, and so the signs of aging combined with a large weight loss had left my body looking old, my skin really loose and without much tone. It was depressing to have finally lost so much weight, and yet to feel so bad about my body still. It was very depressing! I was feeling pretty hopeless that I could ever feel good about my body again…which is not the way one wants to feel after working so hard to lose weight! I had 20 more pounds I wanted to lose, but didn’t even want to do it, because I knew it meant I would feel worse about my body than I did before!
“I started doing Oxycise!, and even doing it only once a day, and not all that wholeheartedly and not all that often, I began to notice my body starting to firm up in some of the really loose areas. Then, I visited your website and got totally inspired. I read every single success story and decided to really go ‘all the way’ with Oxycise! Just two weeks ago, I began doing O twice a day, Level 1 in the morning and Level 2 after work. I also began to REALLY do the basic breath, I mean really doing it with gusto, and giving it all I’ve got.
“What has happened in the last two weeks has been nothing short of astounding. My skin is firming up and getting toned and tightened. I cannot believe how rosy my complexion is, and how much my body is toning and tightening and firming up! I have lost about 5 more pounds, and have gone down 2 pants sizes in 2 weeks, just from my body tightening up so much. My cellulite is going away! This is cellulite I’ve had for over 20 years, that NOTHING would touch! And now it is just melting off me! My skin isn’t drooping anymore! The bags under my eyes have gone away, and I swear that even some wrinkles I was getting on my face are disappearing. The whites of my eyes are so much whiter. My body is getting re-proportioned. I am watching it change shape before my eyes on a daily basis…I can’t believe it!
“I also sleep better, have less stress and anxiety, am much happier all day, have a huge increase in endurance, have no more headaches, and have been able to go off some medications I was taking…I don’t need them anymore! I also notice that when I go fitness walking, I have absolutely no stiffness like I used to, and I can walk much farther with no exertion at all. My fitness level is definitely far above what it was before, even when I was doing hours of step aerobics and other kinds of exercise. Now, all I do is Oxycise!, twice a day, and some walking, and I am in 1000% better shape than I was when doing all those other forms of exercise that took so much more time to do!
“To say that I am sold on Oxycise! is the understatement of the millennium. I can’t tell you how happy I feel to finally know I have a tool to change my body and make it more youthful and beautiful and healthy, especially as I age. It truly is astounding the changes in my body over the past few weeks. I am so excited to see more changes that I know are on the way. It feels so good to know that I can finally have a toned body that I can feel good about, even at my age, and after having lost so much weight.
“Jill, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your discovery with us. I will always be eternally grateful to you!”
This is something I can do FOREVER!
“I think I have a unique story which involves Oxycise! & my ability to MAINTAIN my shape & health.
“I am 66 yrs young, 5′ 6½”, approx.136 lbs & I can NOW manage to stay a size 8 & totally pain free after many years of severe back pain. My body fat is 15% which is WAY below the average for this age.
“I have been doing Oxycise! now for about 1 yr. & after having a top weight of 235 lbs in my youth, I’ve been fighting all my life to keep it off.
“Before discovering Oxycise!, I found STAYING at a size or weight at this time in my life much more difficult from all the years of drastic diets, fasting, diet doctors with pills, injections — you name it!!!
“Now, I eat whatever I want but in moderation, of course, and as long as I Oxycise! I can stay & look the same. No doubt ‘O!’ has become a routine part of my life also because of the flexibility, strength and energy that I have at this old age. I really do not feel as well, in every way, on days when I unavoidably miss my ‘O!’ workout.
“NOBODY believes my age because I do not have that ‘mature’ body so I can’t get my Sr. discounts anywhere unless I show I.D. !!!!!
“I love the way I look & feel and only wish that the others out there from my generation would realize there IS something you can do to increase your quality of life—- it’s never too late!!
“I truly believe that the many people of my generation really NEED the Oxycise! system because its easy for them to do if they happen to be physically challenged.”
Sincerely, Jane Cook

Update from Jane:
“Well, just an update—–been doing the ‘buns& thighs’ workout & can’t believe the definition, tone & shape.!!! Being in Vegas, people (women!) stop me on the street & ask if I’m a dancer! At this age? (but they don’t know that)
“I LOVE THIS WHOLE PROGRAM !!!!!!! This is something I can do FOREVER! Feel better now than in my 30’s—honest!
“Feel TERRIFIC!!!! NO medications, Rx or over-the-counter (just vitamin supplements)!!!!
“TOTALLY PAIN-FREE!!!!! (& I’ve got a bad back) or DID have. Jump outta bed like a 30yr old (in fact, I don’t think I even did it at 30!)
“Oxycise! helps me to center myself, de-stresses me emotionally & also, just as important, it feeds my soul! Thank you, Jill & God bless you for giving us your program.
“Does this get any better? don’t think so at 67yrs. I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!!”
My muscle tone is amazing – my biceps and my tummy and legs are really firm
“Hi Jill,
“First I want to thank you for your wonderful Oxycise! program. I have suffered from depression, anxiety, lack of focus and irritability for over a year now. Oxycise! has helped me to have more energy, to remain much calmer when things get hectic and I am able to focus on work so much better. Instead of being irritable around my 3-1/2 year old son, I find myself spending more and more quality time with him. In general I’m happier. I actually find myself walking with a little skip now. I love all these benefits and will continue to do Oxycise everyday (I just ordered the level II)…
“…My muscle tone is amazing – my biceps and my tummy and legs are really firm…”
“…Thank you again for this wonderful program and I do look forward to new workouts you may put out in the future.”
I know this is a program I can do forever
“I have been using Oxycise! along with BodyFlex that I bought and began using before I heard about Oxycise! I love both programs, and they compliment each other well for my schedule. I have lost a total of over 5 inches from my waist, upper abs, lower abs. and thighs in about 6 weeks. The toning is wonderful. I really did not have weight to lose, although I may have dropped a pound or two. I am 41, married and have 3 children. I want to be able to enjoy all of them for a long time. I was thin, but not necessarily totally fit. I have always been very active with sports, and such, but could not discipline myself to do the traditional aerobic exercises faithfully. I look forward to my Oxycise! and BodyFlex breathing ‘workouts.’ And, I am energized. With my youngest being a very active 2 year old, I need to be. I know this is a program I can do forever and not be tuckered out when that 2 year old is 20, and Mom is 60!
“My husband is a United States Marine, who of course needs to stay in shape as part of his commitment to the Corps. He doesn’t mind those 3 to 6 mile runs daily, but he is interested in learning the Oxycise! program. He sees how it has helped me tone and feel energized and sees real benefits to this program. Stress reduction alone makes it a goldmine! Tell Jill she may just be helping our military force to stay fit someday! (It may be a tough fight, to convince them that all that grunting and groaning isn’t needed!) But my husband is open-minded enough to give it a try it, and you need to start somewhere.
“I sent for the report to backup my testimonials to the program working. As you all know, people like scientific ‘proof.’ Thanks for the great program and the great access to yourselves.”
I dropped 4% off my body fat
“Hello Jill-
“Haven’t written to you in a while, but I wanted to let you know how things are going with me and Oxycise! I am currently doing the workouts at least 3 to 4 times per day as well as using the commuter routine. I’m not trying to lose weight, however as I’ve mentioned to you before, I have dropped from a size 4 to a 2 as well as dropped 4% off my body fat (17% down to 13%). The great thing though is that my lung capacity is so much greater now that my runs are so much more enjoyable now.
“Now, on to the fantastic thing about Oxycise! I know most of the people who purchase the program do so in order to lose weight, inches, etc. Hardly anyone mentions the tremendous stress reduction this program offers! My father has bone cancer, and we’ve recently gone through some very tough times with him. This disease is very painful for him, but it’s also very painful to watch someone you love go through this. My trips back and forth to the hospital have been not quite so stressful because I do the commuter routine a time or two while making the drive.
“So besides the benefits of weight loss and inch reduction, the stress reduction benefits are so great that I had to write and thank you for that.”
Oyxcise! is the best thing since sliced bread . . . (whole grain of course!)
“Hi Jill,
“Love OXYCISE! My approach is a little unorthodox and I hope that’s OK – I concentrate and just do the Oxycise! breathing – refreshing!
“I find it so relaxing, energizing and centering – I do it 15 minutes in AM to music and 10-15 while walking my dogs (we walk about 35 m.p. wk) I still do Body Flex ’cause I really enjoy it and it provided me w/lovely results. The combination gives me variety and focus. No gym, no contraptions– just me, air and my breathing is the great part about Oxycise! I love your position ideas in the workout and use them and so I am really looking forward to the intermediate workout.
“Oxycise! has given me (in just 7 days):
VARIETY
STRESS REDUCTION
FAST WEIGHT LOSS IN AB AREA
FACIAL DIFFERENCE (I’m 48)
GREAT POSITION IDEAS
INCH LOSS!!!!!!! (Almost immediately)
“Sooo . . . Oyxcise! is the best thing since sliced bread . . . (whole grain of course!) Also love your newsletter – it’s great seeing info and ideas and inspiration from others! GREAT JOB!”
Thanks,
K. Bussey
“P.S. It’s just amazing to me why all my friends sweat and strain and still complain about their weight. They spin, lift and though jeans are tighter and scale is higher – I tell them and they just make fun – wish they would just try Oxycise! – I eat lots of lovely, whole food and they count every calorie and grain. Oh and that’s another Oxycise! plus . . . you can do it after you eat. It DOESN’T have to be done on an empty stomach (and mine rarely is!)”
Update from Kasey:
“I LOVE your Level II tape — it reminds me of a lovely stretchy ballet class.”
“Hi,
“I got a real kick out of seeing my letter from a month ago to you in print and so I thought that I would give you a update (and feel free to print!) Have been Oxycizing since April 15 when my videos arrived and I still love it! I combine it with a body flex workout, one in the AM and one in the PM.
“I am slowly losing but I FEEL GREAT !
“I loved your recent suggestions to lower my set point.
“Whenever I get a headache I do a little Oxycise! breathing and away it goes. I thought that maybe this could help some other breathers. Breathing also seems to put the kabosh on my occasional hot flashes…it makes them go away in a FLASH. I LOVE your Level 2 workout — it reminds me of a lovely stretchy ballet class.
“Thanks and thanks and thanks,”
I still can’t believe the kind of changes I’m seeing!
“I have hesitated posting my results over the past four weeks. I guess I still can’t believe the kind of changes I’m seeing!
“Over the past month I’ve lost a total of 22 inches and 4 pounds!!!!! I think I’m still in a state of shock. Thank goodness I’ve been measuring each week and not just depending on the scale, or I think I would have become discouraged. I’m convinced I’m firming up and gaining strong, lean muscle mass. I still have more changes to make to meet my goals, but I’m totally encouraged by this program! I feel so much better, and I find that I’m just naturally taking better care of myself – craving whole foods, being more active, feeling less stressed about work, enjoying life more fully!
“I will keep you posted on my continued progress! Needless to say, I’m addicted and can’t wait for free time each day to slip in some Oxycise! reps! ”
I have lost over 30 pounds, I no longer have back pain or migraines
“At first I was very skeptical of the Oxycise program, but I tried it and it has changed my life. I have lost over 30 pounds, I no longer have back pain or migraines, and I am off my anti depressants and my anxiety medication. Also, I reaped all these benefits just by doing Oxycise level one video every morning. This program is truly fantastic! Thank you for a program that is real, healthy, and effective.”
Sera
Update:
“In response to the curious Oxycise! user it took me three months to lose 30 pounds.
“Also, I definitely modified my diet. I worked hard to not use food as an emotional crutch or a stress reliever. Instead I ate lots of oxygen rich foods in reasonable portions as discussed in the Oxycise!
book (veggies, whole grains, lentils, etc…).
“Finally, I have kept off all the weight and now enjoy all levels of Oxycise! once or twice a day. Thanks again for such a real, life-changing program and for all your wonderful support.”
I was so tired all the time, stressed out and felt ‘weighed’ down
“I am a 30 year old single mother of twins. I started Oxycising at the beginning of the year and I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful breathing program. Not only have I lost weight and inches thanks to Oxycise!, but I have given my children the best gift I could….ME!!!
“I was so tired all the time, stressed out and felt ‘weighed’ down. As soon as I started Oxycising I felt the difference, probably in the same day. Oxycise! gives me a great boost of energy in the mornings and really lifts my spirits.
“I can take a few Oxycise! breaths while I’m feeling stressed and it helps clear my mind. I’m able to tolerate my toddlers better, I find that I have more patience with them and they deserve that.
“Of course, having the weight come off is definitely a plus! To date, by just Oxycising and changing my eating habits to incorporate lots of fresh foods I have lost over 25 lbs. and over 20 inches!!! That has definitely given a big boost to my self esteem and overall health.
“My sons and I say Thank You, Jill Johnson!!!”
I love life again, and I can’t remember being so in love with life as I am now
“I’ve been meaning to e-mail you, but I wanted to be sure of what I was seeing before I did! Believe it or not, I’m losing a pound a day, and I promise you, I AM NOT STARVING MYSELF!
“I’d be lying if I told you that the first day was a piece of cake, but in addition to my regular Oxycise!, I added 20 minutes of aerobic dancing…that worked great in the blood sugar control department. (Keep in mind, the experts say you have to keep up aerobic exercise for at least 45 minutes to reap benefits). I did that with my Oxycise for a few days, and then I thought, ‘OK, I know the promises of Oxycise!: let’s put it to the test.’ I dropped the 20 minutes of aerobic dancing and have been doing Oxycise! exclusively…the results are the same…so far, 2 inches are off the waist, an inch off the hips, the scale is down 5 pounds. My husband is so impressed with my change in attitude.
“Well, since I started Oxycise!, the change has been dramatic — and that’s an understatement! The little things that used to just wreck my day don’t even bother me now! I feel hopeful — healthy — fulfilled in my role…and placid…which leads me to tell you, you REALLY ought to tie into the mental health community with this one in your clinical studies. As a former nursing student, I can tell you that psychiatric patients are taught deep breathing…but not like this!
“I’m thrilled out of my mind with this — I just can’t tell you. I have tried so hard to take off the thirty pounds I gained since Mara was born. I’ve tried the healthy ways — and the not so healthy. . . . INCREDIBLE is all I can say! Looking forward to hearing from you. God Bless You.”

Update from Lesleigh – Size 16 to 12
“I still think it’s too good to be true, but the proof is in the pudding. My question is for you, how is this possible that I’ve gone down from a size 16 to a size 12, and I’m losing inches, yet the scale has only come down 6 pounds? (I’m not complaining at all, but my past experience has been that even with exercise, I had to lose 10 pounds before I went down a size). By the way, I was thinking,’OK, these are designer pants, and designers tend to cut larger because we American women don’t want to face the truth of how fat we really are.’ Well, I went to a department store and tried on clothes ( I need a new outfit for a party on Sunday) and across the board, I’m wearing size 12, albeit some of the items were a tad snug. Oh, how wonderful it is to shop again!”
Love and Hugs,

Another update – Oxycise! as a Mood Lifter and Immune System Booster
“I have been using Oxycise! for seven weeks and to date, have lost 11 pounds and 10 ¼ inches! I have tried conventional aerobic exercise and dieting, and got absolutely nowhere. I take medication to control my heart rhythm, but I tire out before I really get into an aerobic range…not with Oxycise! I get into an aerobic zone immediately…but the benefits haven’t stopped at weight loss…I simply don’t recall a time in my life where I felt this good, for this long…and I was one of those people that would literally wake up in the morning, wishing the day would end. I feel alert and awake and creative. I find that little things don’t bother me anymore …I’m so much calmer, and I deal with the problems of everyday life so much better. If you don’t use this program for weight loss, then use it because it will lift your mood, and give you a true sense of well-being.
“I have even found that using Oxycise! during respiratory illnesses – colds or allergies seems to shorten the duration of the problem! PMS has vanished. . . In leading an Oxycise! lifestyle, my skin looks fabulous.
“I have given this program to my friends as gifts: I feel it is so vital, and has changed my life so drastically. I love life again, and I can’t remember being so in love with life as I am now. Who would think that deep breathing for 15 minutes a day could have such a profound effect on a person?”
I have steadily observed results
“I ordered Oxycise! a few months ago and have steadily observed results. I don’t take weight measurements or tape measurements or do any statistical records. Instead I just do it and make sure that I am doing it properly by judging how my body responds while doing O! I am seeing that my abs and pecs have become tighter and toned and that I have increased energy. The tension I feel in my head (from stress) is reduced. My forehead, shoulders and lower back feel a lot more easy because I am more relaxed (they are not as tense).”
absolutely the best workout i have ever done
Love, love, love this workout! I’ve been doing it on and off for the last 15 years and it is absolutely the best workout i have ever done. I lost 30 lbs years ago by doing this video everyday for about 4 months, it was amazing. It leaves you with a really fit toned body. Not only is it great for keeping a healthy body it is great for my anxiety and depression, as a long time sufferer of both it really clears the cob webs in my brain and gets me feeling rejuvenated and fresh. Anyway my VCR finally croaked and i was freaking out about how i was going to get do my Oxycise workout. Thankfully the Oxycise website let me order a download for a new and improved video with Aubrey Lee and she is just as fantastic as her mom Jill Johnson. Recently I gained 20lbs after quitting smoking last December and am looking forward to doing this workout on a regular basis!
Oxycise brought QUALITY of life and health, and emotional wellness back to me

I feel so much better
Just a note to say I love your newsletter. This extra encouragement and support means a world of difference in keeping me motivated. I have been doing Oxycise! now for 2 weeks and I feel so much better. I am calmer, eat better and don’t have the panic feeling like I need to run to the gym and get on the Stairmaster. This gives me so much more time to myself.
